The beginnings of tourism date here to the end of 19th century.
Today resort offers many hotels, campings, private apartments
and rooms. Population of Rabac is 1.380 but can provide
accommodation for up to 10.000 guests, but it still retains
the spirit and atmosphere of the former fishing village.

excursions, as well as excellent sports and recreational
facilities.
